My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

"..."

The Empress explained the identity of her husband and assured that he wouldn't harm the evil spirits, after which the gaze of the Evil Spirit King towards Gu Lan became less fearful.

Taking advantage of this moment, Gu Lan inquired about matters related to the Spirit Gathering Immortal Valley.

Unfortunately, this fellow had lost some memories from his time guarding the Snow Clan to the present epoch, knowing very little about the origins of the Spirit Gathering Immortal Valley and the remnants of immortals.

"Farewell, my lord!"

Under the watchful eyes of the Evil Spirit King and his minions, Gu Lan and Mu Yuyan boarded the void fairy boat and left the Spirit Gathering Immortal Valley.

Before departing, Gu Lan left behind some Yin attributed spiritual objects useful for the cultivation of evil spirits.

He had no use for these Yin attributes as spiritual objects himself. Leaving them for his own wife's servants was akin to charity.

Originally, he had intended to leave some spiritual liquid to nourish the immortal flowers and spirit grass and have the Evil Spirit King assist in watering the garden.

Unfortunately, the Evil Spirit King expressed that as a guardian of the tomb, it couldn't enter that particular garden.

It also stated that not just anyone could enter that location. Only those approved by the tomb owner could enter.

"Approved by the tomb owner?"

"In that case, both my wife and I are approved by the tomb owner."

"Is the tomb owner truly the Ancient God Clan?"

As Gu Lan pondered over the scarce information about the Spirit Gathering Immortal Valley, he perused several letters.

Most of these letters were from Sheng Xuzi. They mostly consisted of Sheng Xuzi expressing his nostalgia for his predecessors and what treasures he had received.

There were also mentions of events held by the Star Picking Pavilion, eagerly anticipating the return of his predecessors to Tianqi City and so forth.

Gu Lan skipped over these contents directly, focusing on a reply letter regarding the Nine Heavens Earth Essence.

This reply came from a pair of masters and disciples, detailing how the mysterious yellow soil was obtained by a wandering cultivator from the Immortal Realm's Fengyang Immortal Domain by chance.

The specifics of where it was obtained in Fengyang Immortal Domain were unknown even to the wandering cultivator, as he purchased the mysterious yellow soil from a market stall in a wandering cultivator market.

"It seems that without the Destiny Compass, finding clues about the Nine Heavens Earth Essence won't be an easy task!"

Gu Lan sighed. He was starting to miss the days when the protagonist had been by his side. The golden peak Destiny and the red Destiny still had a gap.

If he had this compass, clues about the Nine Heavens Earth Essence would probably accidentally fall into his hands!

"Nevertheless, it's also good. We can enjoy our time alone together with my wife. Although the Nine Heavens Earth Essence is precious, there's no rush. In the vastness of the Three Thousand Worlds, we can leisurely search while enjoying the scenery..."

Without dwelling too much, Gu Lan replied to Sheng Xuzi's letter, asking him to take good care of the pair of master and disciple.

Then, he and Mu Yuyan boarded the void fairy boat and arrived at the boundary of the Fengyang Immortal Domain. They didn't deliberately seek any clues about the Nine Heavens Earth Essence.

The two of them disguised themselves as ordinary cultivators, embarking on a divine journey of sightseeing in the Immortal Realm. Fengyang Immortal Domain was the largest immortal domain in the Immortal Realm, with several top forces reigning in its territory, and the atmosphere was better than other immortal domains.

During the days Gu Lan and Mu Yuyan spent sightseeing in the mountains and rivers, they didn't encounter any annoying Immortal Realm cultivators.

Along the way, Mu Yuyan bought some beautiful immortal clothes and various interesting trinkets and gifts from the Immortal Realm, intending to give them to Simu and reward them to the civil and military officials of the Jing Nation upon returning to the mortal realm.

Gu Lan, on the other hand, collected books from various parts of the Immortal Realm, always holding a book in his hand.

During this time, whether he was on the road or in bed, day or night, he worked diligently! However, ... his cultivation realm still hadn't broken through.

From the first tier of the Emperor Realm to the pinnacle of the Emperor Realm, also known as the pinnacle of Heaven Emperor Realm, Gu Lan felt that he hadn't encountered any bottlenecks.

After all, as long as he read books, his cultivation soared. Breaking through from the pinnacle of the Emperor Realm to the Divine Realm recorded in the ancient books of the Star Picking Pavilion was the next step.

Gu Lan felt that he was not just one step away but perhaps thousands or tens of thousands of steps away.

His cultivation continued to soar rapidly, his strength was increasing at a rapid pace, but unfortunately, he couldn't break through. Could it be that he had encountered a bug?

Boom!

The sky resounded with a deafening thunderclap.

Inside a tavern, Gu Lan furrowed her brows slightly as she glanced at the sky, observing countless robed cultivators soaring on their swords, all heading in the same direction.

"Even the group of wooden sword cultivators from the Thunder Sword Sect have mobilized together. It seems I should also make my way to Fengyang City!"

"Here comes the dragon!"

An elderly man with a white beard leaped out of the tavern.

As soon as the old man flew out, a golden light immediately caught him and carried him into the sky.

The golden light took the form of a golden dragon, possessing the cultivation of an Imperial Stage beast, carrying the old man towards the direction where the cultivators had just departed.

The others in the tavern seemed unperturbed by this sight.

In the Fengyang Immortal Domain, simply tossing two stones could hit either a King Stage or an Imperial Stage cultivator.

Encountering a cultivator capable of subduing an Imperial Stage beast was not particularly surprising.

"What major event is happening in Fengyang City that has prompted the entire Thunder Sword Sect to mobilize?"

"You're not aware of this? You must have just emerged from seclusion."

"Fengyang City is about to witness a world-shaking battle initiated by the Emperor of the Wind, inviting the Goddess of the Wind, one of the seven clans of the Immortal Realm, to participate. It's hailed as the first battle beneath the Divine Realm."

"Those people just now are eager to witness the battle."

"Battles between Immortal Emperors are rare, let alone the first battle beneath the Divine Realm."

"After finishing up my current tasks, I too will go to Fengyang City to witness the battle. Perhaps there's a chance to break through my current bottleneck."

"What is the name of the Wind Clan's Goddess? Is she beautiful?"

"The Wind Clan's Goddess is named Feng Ruoxue. As for her appearance, besides the Emperor of the wind, few know. We're just curious bystanders, hoping to catch a glimpse of her in this lifetime."

In the tavern, several cultivators discussed the affairs of Fengyang City.

Gu Lan had also heard of the name of the Emperor of the Wind; the Fengyang Immortal Domain was named after him.

The Emperor of the Wind was reputed as the strongest in the Immortal Realm, and his cultivation was unmatched beneath the Divine Realm.

If the Goddess of the wind could contend with him, her strength was undoubtedly formidable.

Such a battle piqued Gu Lan's interest. He had never encountered someone with strength comparable to his own, let alone engaged in combat.

According to the novels of his past life, observing battles of great masters could lead to enlightenment. Perhaps this event would be an opportunity?

"My dear, would you like to go and see?"

Gu Lan looked at Mu Yuyan beside him, who nodded gently.

Upon hearing the name Feng Ruoxue, she felt strangely familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before.

She had experienced this feeling before, usually influenced by memories of the Snow Clan's saintess...

Three days remained until the strongest battle in the Immortal Realm.

Outside Fengyang City, temporary caves were neatly stationed everywhere.

Cultivators of various attire flew around in the air.

Among them were not only Demon Clan members but also cultivators from the Demon and Abyssal races.

In the Immortal Realm, Human Clan cultivators predominated, and it was rare to see cultivators of other races. Yet now, so many foreign cultivators appeared.

This world-shaking battle in the Immortal Realm demonstrated its immense popularity. Find your next read on My Virtual Library Empire

Watching battles between powerful beings could greatly aid in enlightenment. This was the main reason these cultivators came to watch the battle.

Fengyang City was vast, but it couldn't accommodate so many cultivators.

Therefore, the current city lord of Fengyang City had set a threshold: anyone who wished to enter the city must pay a superb spirit stone.

This requirement indeed deterred many cultivators, thus maintaining order within Fengyang City.

"Fengyang City is truly magnificent. Once I have the power, I will also build Jing Nation's Capital City to such a scale, that the people of Jing Nation will aspire to it."

Outside Fengyang City, Mu Yuyan and Gu Lan arrived together at the majestic city gate.
